Having recently entered into a new decade (go me!), I think it’s safe to say that my PB’s (personal best’s) days are behind me. When I first started running, it was about going further. Starting with 5k, then building to 10k and eventually moving on to the half marathon. As a mum with young kids, […]

I’ve just come back from a long run. It was a bit of an adventure. This particular run had it all. It’s May, we are coming into the last month of Autumn, and soon winter will be upon us. Which means the weather has been all over the place. This week alone, we have had

Dear Me, I don’t think I have ever written a letter to myself in this way, but there is a first time for everything. It’s humid, and I just finished PiYo. I only did PiYo because I was unable to go for a run. If it clears up this evening I will go for a

Today marks the last day of my Yoga Challenge. And before you ask I did not do it every day. Yep, that’s right, but no I didn’t fail. Well not in my books. You see I only work out 6 days a week. I always allow myself a rest day. Sunday is normally my rest
No one likes doing boring things. So while some people think doing croquet is fun, others would rather watch grass grow. As a mum, you encourage your kids to have activities outside of school. Miss K loves ballet, she is very much a girly girl. She also does running with the SAAC running club but
Part 4 of What I’ve learnt No matter how long you have been on your journey for, there will come a time when you will: Want to help others Others will ask help from you The problem? Some people will genuinely want your help and will put in the hard yards, and others will want
